Toaster Nsabata will start in goal against Ivory Coast.
There were concerns about the 29 year old lack of game time but the shot stopper has impressed the technical bench.
Despite being released by South African club Sekhukhune United, the former Zesco United shot stopper has held his head high.
Power Dynamos goalkeeper Lawrence Mulenga is the back up goalkeeper.
Francis Mwansa and Victor Chabu of Trident and Nchanga Rangers respectively are the other goalkeepers in camp.
Head coach Avram Grant is expected to drop either Mwansa or Chabu.
Nsabata’s experience will be vital against the West African giants.
Nsabata makes a lot of grave mistakes…he cannot be trusted. We should safely say Zambia has no dependable goalkeeper.
Really,why can’t we groom a more tactical & dependable goal keeper suitable for international matches.you you want do experiment against formidable West African team?
Just recall veteran Kennedy mweene.
